In light of all that God accomplished through his Son at the cross - how now are we to live? What does living a life crucified with Christ actually look like?

Jesus did it all for us at the cross. It was his great victory over sin, death and Satan, and made a way for us to be reconciled to God and to each other. How could we boast in anything we've done? Paul says all such boasting is worthless - there's only one thing worth making much of: the cross.

The cross made a way for Jews and Gentiles to be reconciled, but only because it made it possible for us all to be first reconciled to God. How did the cross make it possible for lost sinners to come near to a holy God?

The cross was God's most decisive victory of the power of sin, death and Satan. But it looked like the moment of his defeat. How did God orchestrate this great reversal? What made this victory so triumphant? Today we look at the victory of the cross on Resurrection Sunday!

The Jews and Gentiles simply did not mix - they had nothing in common, and the Jewish laws made sure the Gentiles were treated as inferior and 'other'. But then Jesus went to the cross and tore down the dividing walls between them - to make new humanity! How is that possible? What does that mean for us today to live reconciled to one another?
